That's right!  It's finally 2010!  This will no doubt be the year of CAPCOM!  Yeah, I know what you're thinking...  "Woohoo!  Lost Planet 2 is coming out!" or "Huzzah!  Dead Rising 2!" or "Dark Void!  WORD!" or "Super Street Fighter IV!!!" 

No, scratch that...  Not Super Street Fighter IV...  Something even better.  Yes, something that we have all been waiting for for the past TWENTY years.  Some of you may have played it, all the while looking forward to the future. 

So far, 2010 is just how I imagined it after playing this so long ago.  I've already used my serum to become the most powerful man in the galaxy.  My partner was killed two days ago, my formula was stolen, and so I'm out for revenge.  I'm actually posting this blog while I cross the stars searching for them.  With my newfound strength and...

WAIT!

2010 is nothing like that!  Actually Super Street Fighter IV is going to be way better, along with all the other quintuple A titles coming from CAPCOM.  I can't wait!

Hmmm... where did all the snow go on E.D.N. III?  Oh, sure, they say it was a terra-forming project and all that jazz.  But, I have uncovered the truth!  Everyone was wearing these:

 Columbia Sportswear Bugathermo Rechargeable Heated Boots

I mean, think about it.  Akrid look like bugs, and these boots have "bug" in the name.  It was really cold in the snow, and everyone had to keep their feet warm.  Snow just couldn't take the heat...  It all melted, and the planet was forever changed.

It was either this or global warming climate change.

...or in this case, the personalized message/autograph.

The UPS guy came by today to drop off a package.  It's nothing out of the oridinary.  He delivers a lot to my work, and he's a really cool guy.  He also drops off packages to the GameStop around the corner from my work.  He'll tell me when he's going there so that I'm sure to pick up the latest copy of CAPCOM games available (and in some very rare cases, non-CAPCOM games).  He even lives in my apartment complex.  Weird, huh?  Well, that's not really the point of this blog.  I'll have another one about the man in really short brown shorts later, if you really want (yeah, didn't think so).

The fantastic package I received contained swag more awesome than you can possibly imagine.  Okay, now try to imagine something really, really awesome.

...

...

...still imagining?  Oh, you're done?  Well, yeah...  It was even more awesome than that!  Don't just take my word for it.  Take the word of these pictures for it(?).

Addition to my Lost Planet collection.  That reminds me, I need to call Guinness.

Fantastic Dark Void booklet (emphasis on fantastic)

 Monster Hunter is good for you.  It's full of Vitamin C. *

While it's not a CAPCOM game, I cannot deny the amazingness of Castle Crashers.

Now, imagine for a moment (obviously, I like people to use their imagination) that the creators of one of your favorite games draws their creations and personalizes it for you (Rob Man knows what I'm talking about).  Not only that, but they also add to the long list of things that make me better than Snow.  For more pictures of great swag, check out this gallery.

* : While Monster Hunter is proven to be good for you**, it does not contain Vitamin C.

** : I'm not sure if Monster Hunter has been proven to be good for you, but I'm pretty sure it is.

I'm excited about Lost Planet 2.  Duh, you all knew that.  It's pretty obvious.  The only way you couldn't know that is if you didn't know me or have never seen anything I posted or been in my presence.  Okay, okay...  So, that may add up to a few people.  But, there is still no denying that I am excited about Lost Planet 2.  But, did you do know this?

I AM EXCITED ABOUT DEAD RISING 2!

My friend William Adams and I have been talking non-stop about TGS 2009 and the potential Dead Rising 2 news.  I have seen some screenshots, and I have read some blogs.  Whether or not any of it is true, I cannot stop being excited about this.  The next few days are going to be awesome!
